Description

  The present invention relates to an applicator for applying a viscous material to the surface of a component.

  When assembling parts that make up the body of an automobile, apply a viscous material (sealer) to the assembly surface (surface) of the parts, and interpose the viscous material between the two parts to waterproof the assembly location. Processing is in progress. At this time, when the viscous material is applied to the assembly surface using a brush, the viscous material applied to the assembly surface is likely to be uneven. .

  The apparatus for applying the viscous material to the surface of the component includes a metal roller, a container having an internal space in which the viscous material is stored, and a blade close to the outer peripheral surface of the roller, and a lower part of the roller Is inserted into the internal space of the container (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  In such a conventional apparatus, when the roller is rotated about its axis, the viscous material in the container adheres to the outer peripheral surface of the roller. At this time, the surface layer portion of the viscous material on the outer peripheral surface is scraped off by the blade, so that the viscous material on the outer peripheral surface after passing through the blade has a uniform thickness. The viscous material can be applied to the surface of the component by contacting the component with the outer peripheral surface of the roller while rotating the roller.

As shown in FIG. 4, the blade 40 is a rectangular plate-like member whose longitudinal direction is arranged on the left and right, and is arranged in front of the roller 10.
As shown in FIG. 1, the blade 40 is supported on the upper surfaces of the left and right leg portions 52 and 54 via the left and right angle adjusting mechanisms 60 and 60.
In the present embodiment, the left and right angle adjustment mechanisms 60 and 60 have the same configuration. Therefore, in the following description, the left angle adjustment mechanism 60 will be described in detail, and the right angle adjustment mechanism 60 will not be described. To do.

  The angle adjustment mechanism 60 is for adjusting the inclination angle of the blade 40. As shown in FIG. 5A, the angle adjustment mechanism 60 is attached to the upper surface of the left leg portion 52 and to the front portion of the attachment plate 61. And an attached rod 62.

  The mounting plate 61 protrudes forward from the upper surface of the left leg portion 52, and a rising portion 61a protruding upward is formed at the front portion. In addition, a plate-like extension portion 61 b is provided at the front end portion of the mounting plate 61 so as to protrude forward.

  A connecting portion 63 projects upward from the upper front side of the rising portion 61a. The connecting portion 63 is formed with a through hole 63a penetrating left and right. The through hole 63a communicates with a through hole (not shown) of the connecting portion 41 projecting from the lower surface of the blade 40, and a connecting pin 64 is inserted into each through hole 63a. Thereby, the blade 40 is connected to the mounting plate 61 so as to be tiltable about the connecting pin 64 as a rotation center. That is, the blade 40 is tiltable about the left and right axes with respect to the upper end surfaces of the left and right leg portions 52 and 54.

  An adjustment bolt 65 is erected on the upper rear side of the rising portion 61a. The nut 65 a screwed into the upper end portion of the adjustment bolt 65 abuts on the rear surface of the lower surface of the blade 40, whereby the inclination angle of the blade 40 is determined. Therefore, the inclination angle of the blade 40 can be changed by adjusting the position of the nut 65a in the height direction.

The rod 62 is a member having a circular cross section in which a thread groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface, and the lower portion is inserted into a through hole (not shown) of the extending portion 61b and attached to the lower surface of the extending portion 61b. Screwed onto the nut 61c.
The upper end portion of the rod 62 is inserted into a through hole 42 (see FIG. 4) formed in the front corner portion of the blade 40 and protrudes upward from the upper surface of the blade 40.
An annular stopper 62a is externally fitted to a substantially middle portion of the rod 62 in the axial direction (height direction). Further, an elastic member 62 b that is externally fitted to the rod 62 is interposed between the stopper 62 a and the lower surface of the blade 40.

The elastic member 62b is an elastic body that applies an upward pressing force to the front portion of the lower surface of the blade 40, and in the present embodiment, a coil spring is used. In addition, the structure of the elastic member 62b is not limited, For example, a cylindrical rubber material can also be used.
By applying an upward pressing force to the front portion of the blade 40 by the elastic member 62b, the blade 40 has a force to rotate clockwise in FIG. Is acting. As a result, the rear portion of the blade 40 is pressed against the nut 65a of the adjustment bolt 65, and the inclination angle of the blade 40 is maintained.

Here, when the inclination angle of the blade 40 is small, the rear edge portion of the blade 40 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface 11 a of the roller 10. As the inclination angle of the blade 40 is smaller, the force with which the blade 40 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface 11a increases, and the outer peripheral portion 11 is pushed in at the contact portion between the blade 40 and the outer peripheral surface 11a.
Since the front portion of the blade 40 is not fixed and can be tilted counterclockwise in FIG. 5A, the roller 10 is rotated clockwise (arrow A) in FIG. 5A. It is possible to prevent the rotation of the roller 10 from being stopped by the pressing force of the blade 40.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the lower portion of the rod 62 is screwed into the nut 61c of the extending portion 61b, and the rod 62 is moved downward to increase the inclination angle of the blade 40. The rear part can be raised greatly. In this way, the trailing edge of the blade 40 can be reliably separated from the outer peripheral surface 11a of the roller 10.

The coating apparatus 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above operates as follows and exhibits the effects of the present invention.
Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, a case where the viscous material 2 is applied to the assembly surface P1 (surface) of the component P using the coating apparatus 1 will be described as an example.

  In the coating apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 2, the contact portions 56c of the stoppers 56 of the support base 50 are separated from the floor surface F, and the support base 50 is supported by the casters 51b. Thereby, the worker can push the support base 50 to run. Then, the coating device 1 is moved to a predetermined position, and the contact portions 56 c of the stoppers 56 are brought into contact with the floor surface F, thereby fixing the support base 50.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the operator rotates the handle 53 d to move the container 30 downward, and supplies the viscous material 2 (see FIG. 2) into the container 30 in this state. At this time, even if the viscous material 2 leaks out of the container 30, the viscous material 2 is received by the receiving member 51 c disposed below the container 30, so that the viscous material 2 adheres to the floor surface F. Can be prevented.

As shown in FIG. 2, after the viscous material 2 is stored in the container 30, the handle 53 d is rotated to move the container 30 upward, and the lower part of the outer peripheral portion 11 of the roller 10 is moved to the inner space 31 of the container 30. Insert into.
As a result, the outer peripheral surface 11a of the roller 10 is immersed in the viscous material 2, and the outer peripheral portion 11 is impregnated with the viscous material 2. At this time, it is preferable that the heaters 35 and 35 of the container 30 generate heat and the viscous material 2 is heated to improve fluidity so that the viscous material 2 can easily penetrate into the outer peripheral portion 11.

Further, when the drive motor 21 is driven and the roller 10 is rotated clockwise (arrow A) in FIG. 5A, the outer peripheral portion 11 is pushed in at the contact portion between the rear edge portion of the blade 40 and the outer peripheral surface 11a. It will be in the state.
Accordingly, a part of the viscous material 2 impregnated in the outer peripheral portion 11 oozes out from the outer peripheral portion 11 below the contact portion between the blade 40 and the outer peripheral surface 11a (downstream in the rotation direction of the roller 10). Falls into 30. The amount of the viscous material 2 impregnated in the outer peripheral surface 11a is reduced above the contact portion between the blade 40 and the outer peripheral surface 11a (upstream in the rotation direction of the roller 10).

  An operator positioned in front of the coating apparatus 1 slides the component P forward (on the arrow B side) on the outer peripheral surface 11a while pressing the assembly surface P1 of the component P against the upper portion of the outer peripheral surface 11a. Thus, the viscous material 2 can be apply | coated to the assembly | attachment surface P1 by pushing the outer peripheral part 11 by the components P and making the outer peripheral surface 11a ooze out the viscous material 2. FIG.

  Thus, in this embodiment, even if the assembly surface P1 is inclined with respect to the outer peripheral surface 11a by pressing the component P against the outer peripheral portion 11 having elasticity, the viscous material 2 is evenly distributed on the assembly surface 11a. Since it can apply | coat with thickness, work efficiency can be improved.

  Further, the thickness of the viscous material 2 applied to the assembly surface P1 is adjusted by bringing the blade 40 into contact with or close to the outer peripheral surface 11a of the roller 10 and adjusting the amount of the viscous material 2 impregnated into the outer peripheral portion 11. Can be adjusted.

Specifically, when the inclination angle of the blade 40 is decreased and the force with which the blade 40 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface 11a is increased, the viscosity is reduced below the contact portion (downstream in the rotation direction of the roller 10). Since the amount of the material 2 oozing out from the outer peripheral portion 11 and dropping is increased, the amount of the viscous material 2 impregnated on the upper portion of the outer peripheral portion 11 is reduced. Thereby, when the assembly surface P1 is pressed against the upper portion of the outer peripheral surface 11, the amount of the viscous material 2 that oozes out to the outer peripheral surface 11a is reduced, so that the viscous material 2 can be thinly applied to the assembly surface P1. .
Further, when the inclination angle of the blade 40 is increased to reduce the force with which the blade 40 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface 11a, or when the blade 40 is separated from the outer peripheral surface 11a, the viscous material is formed below the contact portion. Since the amount 2 oozes out from the outer peripheral portion 11 is small or absent, the amount of the viscous material 2 impregnated in the upper portion of the outer peripheral portion 11 can be increased. As a result, when the assembly surface P1 is pressed against the upper portion of the outer peripheral surface 11, the amount of the viscous material 2 that oozes out to the outer peripheral surface 11a increases, so that the viscous material 2 can be applied thickly to the assembly surface P1. .
Thus, in the coating apparatus 1 of this embodiment, the thickness of the viscous material 2 applied to the assembly surface P1 can be easily adjusted by adjusting the inclination angle of the blade 40.

  Moreover, since the excessive viscous material 2 which was not apply | coated to the assembly | attachment surface P1 from the outer peripheral surface 11a is osmose | permeated to the outer peripheral part 11, without accumulating on the outer peripheral surface 11a, the lump of the viscous material 2 on the assembly | attachment surface P1. (Dama) can be prevented from occurring.

The viscous material 2 is applied to the assembly surfaces P1 of the plurality of parts P by the above-described procedure. At this time, when the viscous material 2 in the container 30 decreases, the viscous material 2 can be supplied into the container 30 with the container 30 moved downward as shown in FIG. Thus, since the viscous material 2 can be supplied in the container 30 in the state which left | separated the container 30 below the roller 10, workability | operativity can be improved.
Even when the container 30 is separated from the roller 10 and the viscous material 2 is supplied into the container 30, the viscous material 2 impregnated in the outer peripheral portion 11 can be applied to the assembly surface P1. (Refer to FIG. 5A), work efficiency can be improved.

  Further, when the coating operation is completed and the rotation of the roller 10 is stopped, the rod 62 of the angle adjusting mechanism 60 is moved downward to increase the inclination angle of the blade 40 as shown in FIG. In this way, the blade 40 and the outer peripheral surface 11a can be prevented from being fixed by the viscous material 2 by reliably separating the blade 40 from the outer peripheral surface 11a.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
For example, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the container 30 is movable in the vertical direction below the roller 10, but the container 30 may be fixed below the roller 10.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the heater 35 is provided in the container 30. However, when the viscous material 2 has sufficient fluidity, the heater 35 may not be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the outer peripheral portion 11 of the roller 10 is formed of a sponge-like elastic member, and the inner cylinder portion 12 is formed of a hard material. However, the entire roller 10 is formed of a sponge-like elastic member. You can also.
